Bridge Worm: Reborn

The creature spawns in caves under blocks during the night. It stays completely still while a player is within 16 blocks, turns its head and stalks the player. Once a player comes within 10 blocks it becomes aggressive and reveals its true form, leaping toward prey and destroying blocks in its path to reach them, and it kills and eats what it catches. Staring directly at the creature can open the way to the Highway Worm, a stronger variant that appears on the surface during the night, but only after a Bridge Worm has been seen.

The mod is a Forge addon for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1. Its latest file, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, was published on 2026-06-05. It is built with MCreator and requires Geckolib. It runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. The code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Block breaking by these mobs can be turned off with the gamerule mobGriefing set to false. The Highway Worm is enabled with the gamerule enableHighwayWorm set to true. Its configuration can be reached through a Highway Worm item available in creative mode with cheats. The mod is compatible with Long Horse, and players who enable the Highway Worm spawn should note the warning that comes with that combination.
